Yesterday, I gave a presentation to the Austin .Net User Group titled “ASP.NET Tips and Tricks”. I’ve made the demos available for download in a VS 2003 class library project (just map IIS to the folder). The demos are:

The effects of a DocType on your pages

Using the <browserCaps/> web.config section so that ASP.NET recognizes non-IE browsers.

Using Request-level cache to cache objects.

Custom HttpHandlers (.ashx, and .axd)

ASP.NET Trust Levels

Making a user control a container

UrlRewriting (the real way without the bad side effects – no Server.Transfer here).
